The 407th Round: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
I would like to thank the Dragon Baby, Seven Nights Butterfly, Yuncat, Sang Yu Nini, Shui Chang Tianqiu, and Graceye for their monthly pass support!
――――――――――――――――――――
Mo Xuan looked at Daiyu's carriage lane: "It's cold on the road, Brother Wencang should send Sister Yu'er back first, if you have anything to say, you can ask someone to come to Tonghua Lane and call me another day." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jia Lian heard Mo Xuan say this, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "What's going on in Tonghua Lane?" ”
Mo Xuan said with a smile: "The mansion that the Holy Lord just gave me yesterday, I haven't been to see it yet." I heard that I live next to the British princess, so it's easy to find. ”
Jia Lian also knew that this was not the place to speak, so he nodded and said, "In this case, I will send my sister back first, and if there is anything, you can let people come to me." After all, I have been staying in the capital all the year round, and some things are still more familiar than yours, so you don't have to be polite to me. ”
Seeing that Mo Xuan nodded, Jia Lian asked the little servant to lead the horse over and escort Daiyu to the general's mansion. And when Mo Xuan saw them walking away, he also led the guards to Tonghua Lane.
Jia Lian escorted Daiyu all the way back to the General's Mansion on Ningrong Street, Wang Xifeng had already led Li Kun and You Shi and others to greet her, along with Yingchun and Xichun, and even Miaoyu also came out. Daiyu got out of the carriage and looked in a trance for a moment.
A few years ago, it was also here, Wang Xifeng also led everyone out to welcome her, and at that time, Tanchun had not yet married far away, and even Yingchun was not married, but Yunying was not married...... Wang Xifeng greeted him, took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "What do you want?" It's home! Daiyu came back to her senses, nodded with a smile, and said, "Why don't you see Sister Qiao'er?" ”
As soon as the words fell, before Wang Xifeng could answer, he saw Sister Qiao pulling Brother Chun, and Brother Chun dragged Brother Lan out of the house. Followed by a group of little girls, running sweating profusely.
In the distance, Sister Qiao'er's crisp voice came: "Auntie, aunt! Brother Chun and Brother Lan stopped behind Sister Qiao'er, panting and bowing and saluting: "Auntie! Brother Chun'er's expression was quite calm, and Brother Lan'er's face turned red.
Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she saw this, not to mention Yingchun, even Wang Xifeng didn't remember the last time Daiyu laughed like this, if Jia Lian again, she would definitely remember that when Daiyu was a child, every time she teased Jia Lian, she would laugh like this, her voice was like a silver bell, cheerful and crisp.
Seeing Daiyu smiling like this, everyone was stunned for a moment, Brother Chun'er's originally calm expression also showed two points of shyness, and Brother Lan lowered his head even more embarrassedly, looking like he didn't dare to see anyone, only Sister Qiao'er pulled the corner of Daiyu's clothes and laughed happily.
Daiyu touched Sister Qiao'er's head and said with a smile: "Auntie will go to pay New Year's greetings to my grandmother first, and when I ask for my grandmother's red envelope, will my aunt buy you candy to eat?" Brother Lan was silent, Brother Chun held his mouth and looked reluctant, only Sister Qiao pouted and shouted: "Auntie, Sister Qiao doesn't want sugar, don't want sugar!" ”
Seeing this, Daiyu nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's not sugar, let's buy flowers to wear, okay?" Wang Xifeng was a little dumbfounded, shook his head and smiled: "You are used to her!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Daiyu to speak, so he whispered to Sister Qiao'er: "Auntie just came back from the palace, and she hasn't seen her ancestor yet!" ”
Sister Qiao'er and Wang Xifeng lived together for not many days, she followed Mrs. Xing in Dengzhou before, and then was led to Zhuangzi by Daiyu, and it was easy to come back to the house.
When Sister Qiao saw Wang Xifeng come out to speak, she quickly loosened the corners of Daiyu's clothes and hid behind Daiyu.
Seeing Li Kun like that, Daiyu frowned, turned around and took Sister Qiao'er's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lan took Brother Chun with him and went to the front to help your uncle entertain guests, now you are not young, you have more knowledge." Then he handed Sister Qiao'er's hand to Qianqian, and said with a smile: "Look at the sweat on her head, go back and freshen up, and change into dry clothes." ”
To Wang Xifeng's surprise, Qianqian first made a blessing ceremony, and then took Sister Qiao'er's hand, glanced at the nurse again, and then took Sister Qiao'er to Sister Qiao'er's house. After giving her a shallow look, the nurse hurriedly followed.
Wang Xifeng's eyes narrowed, but Daiyu turned around and saw a cold light flashing in her eyes. He lowered his eyebrows and thought about it and smiled: "Let's go in quickly, I'm afraid that my grandmother will complain about me for a while." As he spoke, he naturally grabbed Wang Xifeng's arm.
While Li Kun was talking to You's family, Yingchun and Xichun were also laughing with Miaoyu, and Daiyu said softly: "It's a good thing to be shallow, with her, our Qiao sister will take fewer detours." Wang Xifeng's body stiffened and turned his head.
Daiyu smiled at Wang Xifeng and said, "Sister Qiao'er has been following me these days, can I still hurt her?" He raised his eyebrows and said: "Qianqian, this child is gracious, find a good family for her in the future, and stay by Sister Qiao'er's side to be a housekeeper and daughter-in-law, I look good." ”
Wang Xifeng didn't expect Daiyu to think so much for Sister Qiao'er, so she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that you are her mother." Those words were somewhat sour.
Daiyu said with a smile: "If my sister-in-law is willing, Yu'er doesn't mind, Yu'er looks at not only Sister Qiao'er, but also Brother Chun'er, otherwise, my sister-in-law will give it all to me." Wang Xifeng was amused by Daiyu, stopped, pointed at Daiyu's forehead and said angrily: "What are you thinking about in your head?" ”
You Shi and Li Kun don't talk much in this mansion, Yingchun smiled when she saw this: "Sister-in-law, don't bully Sister Lin, take care for a while, my brother won't mess with you, Sister Qiao and Brother Chun came to claim justice, those two were born and said that they were destined for Sister Lin!" Saying that, Yingchun himself also covered his mouth and laughed.
Wang Xifeng glanced at Yingchun and said: "Sister Qiao and Brother Chun are afraid that they will not come to claim justice, but those who can claim justice are in the northwest!" ”
Daiyu's cheeks flushed when she heard this, and she secretly said in her heart: I came back early, but you don't know. Thinking like this in my heart, I said angrily: "Sister-in-law is actually making fun of me!" As he spoke, he was going to tickle Wang Xifeng. Seeing this, Yingchun also joined in, and a few people made a fuss and entered Mrs. Jia's yard. The topic has also been revealed, and it will not be mentioned again.
When Mrs. Jia saw Daiyu and the others coming in, she smiled very happily, and hurriedly stood up, Mrs. Xing and the mandarin duck hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Jia.
Daiyu and the others saluted Mrs. Jia one after another, and Mrs. Jia smiled and nodded: "Okay, good!" It's good to be back! ”
Saying that, with the support of Mrs. Xing and the mandarin duck, he sat back. A little girl had already put a futon in front of Mrs. Jia, and Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully kowtowed to Mrs. Jia three times. Mrs. Jia was even more smiling, and pulled Daiyu up with her own hands.
To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Jia not only gave Daiyu a red envelope, but also asked the mandarin duck to take out a box made of golden silk nanmu. The box was no more than the size of a palm, but Mrs. Jia cautiously handed it into Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't have any good things, you take this, and your grandmother will give you a New Year's gift." ”
When Daiyu heard this, she was about to open the box, but Mrs. Jia held her hand and said, "Keep it and go back and see." As he spoke, he diverted the topic and said to the mandarin duck: "Don't hurry up and help Lin Yatou up." ”
Although Daiyu didn't know what the old lady Jia had in mind, she didn't open the box as she said, and handed the red envelope and the box to Lily of the Valley and asked her to put it away.
Daiyu and others accompanied them to talk and laugh, after lunch, Mrs. Jia rested, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng went to busy with dinner, You went to Li Kun's house to talk, Daiyu and Yingchun and others took a few children to play, but it also seemed to be happy.
After dinner, Yun Baozhou led Yingchun back to the house, Jia Rong also sent someone to invite You Shi back to the house, You Shi saw that it was inconvenient to stay longer, and took Jia Yun and Xichun away.
Jia Yu and Jia Lian sent off the last guests, and when they returned to Mrs. Jia's house, only Jia Baoyu, Li Kun's mother and son, and Daiyu Miaoyu were left in Jia Yu's first and second rooms. Jia Huan is thirty years old, and he left after keeping the New Year here.
In this way, Jia Baoyu didn't feel anything, and Li Kun first became uncomfortable. Mrs. Jia looked at Jia Yu, who was sitting on the left, Jia Lian, who was handsome and elegant, and then looked at Mrs. Xing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were in a jewel, and Li Kun, who was sitting under Wang Xifeng, who was a little cramped and uneasy.
Old Lady Jia patted Daiyu's hand, frowned, and sighed: "I know, you all complain that I love Baoyu and favor the second ......."
Old Mrs. Jia didn't speak, and before Jia Yu could speak, Jia Lian hurriedly got up and bowed down and said, "Old lady, don't say that, don't talk about grandchildren, even the old lady doesn't dare." His eyes didn't look at Mrs. Jia, but only at her toes. As Jia Lian got up, Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing and other people in the big house also got up and said they didn't dare.
Even Brother Chun and Brother Cong got up and stood behind Jia Lian, bowing their heads and following the way, only Sister Qiao got up and ran to Daiyu for some reason, and was held in Daiyu's arms.
Seeing this, Jia Baoyu sat on the chair very embarrassed, lowered his head and did not speak, Li Kun glanced at Lan Ge'er, who was also bowing his head, the silk in his hand was about to twist into pickles, but he gritted his teeth and barely smiled, but secretly said in his heart: What is bias towards the second room, it is clear that he is biased towards Baoyu. We didn't get any good!
Old Mrs. Jia glanced at the crowd, naturally looking at the looks of Jia Baoyu and Li Kun's mother and son, and smiled a little bitterly.
Old Lady Jia took a deep breath, but continued: "No matter what you think, I am old now. Speaking of this, Mrs. Jia stared at Jia Yu and said, "Your brother's family has gone through this ordeal again. I thought about it, so I divided some of the things in my hand. In the future, you will make trouble for these things outside your body. ”
Not to mention Jia Yu and Jia Baoyu and others, even Daiyu was surprised, and hurriedly got up and said: "I didn't rest well in the palace yesterday, Yu'er is a little sleepy, it's better to go to rest with Sister Miaoyu first, and come back tomorrow morning to ask my grandmother for peace." ”
Who knew that Mrs. Jia glanced at Daiyu, took her hand but didn't let go, shook her head and said, "Yu'er also sit down and listen." ”
Seeing this, Miaoyu stood up and squatted down, glanced at Jia Baoyu, and without speaking, she retreated. Daiyu felt very embarrassed and wanted to chase her out, but Mrs. Jia said, "Yu'er will stay, and it can be regarded as a witness." ”
Without waiting for everyone to refute, he ordered the mandarin duck to carry the box out. The three small Nanmu boxes and the two feet of ebony boxes were soon placed in the center of the room.
Jia Lian and Jia Yu glanced at each other and remained silent, Mrs. Xing shook Wang Xifeng's hand with some uneasiness, but Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and smiled, but did not speak. Daiyu saw that Jia Baoyu was still bowing her head, but Li Kun's eyes were shining. I can't tell what it tastes like in my heart.
Mrs. Jia looked a little careless at this time, so the mandarin duck opened the box, and the golden yellow and orange ground was dazzling.
It was only at this time that Daiyu saw clearly that in the three Nanmu boxes, there were neatly stacked gold ingots! And in those two ebony boxes, I don't know what kind of bills or something were there.
Mrs. Jia quickly explained her confusion and said, "In addition to those pieces of furniture, I also have these five thousand five hundred taels of the Huang family here. As he spoke, he motioned to the mandarin duck to bring her the two ebony boxes, pointed to one of the boxes and said, "This is the identity deed of the people in the house, and now I am not at home, so I will hand it over to the Xing family." ”
Saying that, Mrs. Jia handed the ebony box in the direction of Xing's, Xing's didn't dare to step forward to take it, and turned her head to look at Jia Yu, who also frowned and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Daiyu gestured to Wang Xifeng, the two have been friends for many years, Wang Xifeng immediately smiled and took two steps forward and said, "What is the old lady doing?" Whatever is in the old lady's hand, we can't be more at ease. ”
Old Mrs. Jia glanced at Xing, shook her head, handed it to Wang Xifeng, and said, "Your mother-in-law doesn't want it, you can take it!" As he spoke, he handed it over.
Wang Xifeng was not Xing's, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, squatted down and said with a smile: "Since the old lady is troublesome, then the granddaughter-in-law will help the old lady share her worries." When the old lady remembers, she remembers to take it back. ”
Old Mrs. Jia smiled and nodded, and without saying much, she opened another box, sighed and said, "These are the three Zhuangzi that I married, two sets of houses, and they are about the same size." Saying that, Mrs. Jia looked at Jia Yu again and said, "Your brother's family is in trouble, so I will give them more, and you don't have to be upset." ”
Jia Yu glanced up at Mrs. Jia, and hurriedly got down, and said in a deep voice: "The old lady's things, love to whom, my son has never been worried, and there is no grievance. ”
Mrs. Jia ignored him, turned her head to Daiyu and said: "Although Lian'er is good friends with you when she is young, but both of them are your uncles, and Yu'er is also the most just, and now you give a witness to your grandmother, this Zhuangzi, I don't give you two uncles, only give you three cousins, do you think it's good?" ”
Daiyu was stunned, why is it her turn to say that this matter is okay? After thinking about it, she also understood that Mrs. Jia was afraid that her eldest uncle would be dissatisfied, so she responded with her face, and turned around to trouble the second uncle's family, and wanted to use her identity to suppress it, so she smiled and said: "Look at what my grandmother said, what my uncle said is that this is my grandmother's thing, and no one can say anything." ”
After hearing Daiyu's words, Mrs. Jia nodded with a smile, took out the real estate deeds of the three houses, put them on the kang table at hand, and said softly: "These three houses, one is in the north of the city, one is in the east of the city, and one is in Huazhi Lane, which is not far from here. ”
Listening to Mrs. Jia talking about the words "Huazhi Lane", others didn't react, but Daiyu felt her heart skip a beat, and finally didn't show a different color.
I heard Mrs. Jia continue: "It turned out that your second uncle's house was also in the east of the city, and it was finally cleaned up, but it was copied again...... Mrs. Jia sighed, as if this breath made her ten years older.
Daiyu wanted to comfort and comfort Mrs. Jia, but she really didn't know what to say, so she only reached out to hold Mrs. Jia's arm, and Mrs. Jia turned around and smiled at Daiyu: "These, I originally kept them for you as a dowry, but now I can't keep them." ”
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "When my mother got married, my grandmother didn't give a dowry, but now it's all in Yu'er's hands, where do you need my grandmother to give another dowry?" ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Jia nodded, looked at Jia Lian, took out the real estate deed of Huazhi Lane and said, "This house is close to the house, so I will give it to you." Jia Lian looked at the silent Jia Yu, and then looked up at Mrs. Jia, and saw Daiyu nodding to him imperceptibly, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took it with both hands.
Mrs. Jia nodded and smiled, "Live a good life." As he spoke, he took out the real estate deed of the house in the north of the city, handed it to Li Kun and said: "Zhu'er went early, I have suffered you all these years, but fortunately, Lan Ge'er is also a good person, you two will live a good life, and in the future, you will marry Lan Ge'er's daughter-in-law, and Zhu'er can be regarded as a successor." ”
When Li Kun heard Mrs. Jia mention Jia Zhu, who died early, she immediately covered her mouth and stepped forward to take the title deed with tears.
Old Lady Jia finally looked at Jia Baoyu, who was always standing at the end with Jia Lan, beckoned, and said, "Baoyu, come to me." Just like that, Mrs. Jia's eyes suddenly turned red and the corners of her eyes were wet.
Daiyu sighed in her heart when she saw this, but she heard Mrs. Jia take Jia Baoyu's hand and say: "The past is always over, and now I will give you this house in the east of the city, you have to live a good life, you know?" When Jia Baoyu heard this, she threw herself into Mrs. Jia's arms, and both grandparents and grandchildren cried.
Seeing this, everyone had to step forward to persuade for a while, but Mrs. Jia held back her tears in time, stuffed the real estate deed into Jia Baoyu's arms, and said: "Take it, I don't give you much, a shelter from the wind and rain will always be given to you." ”
After Mrs. Jia finished speaking, she didn't care that Jia Baoyu was still wiping her tears on the side, so she looked at Jia Yu and said: "These two Zhuangzi, one is 1,000 mu and the other is 600 mu, but now you also have an official position, and Lian'er is also angry, I think that this big one will be left to your brother, and this small one will be given to you, do you have any opinions?" ”
When Mrs. Jia said the last sentence, she looked very majestic, Daiyu shook her head secretly, if Mrs. Jia continued to overcome rigidity with softness, she was afraid that Jia Yu would not say anything if she had an opinion, so coercive, Jia Yu just had no opinion, and her heart would not be happy.
As soon as Daiyu finished thinking about it, she unexpectedly heard Jia Yu sneer: "The old lady is serious! Over the years, what do you want to give to the second room, where do you want the second room to live, and when have I ever put it in place? Not to mention, these things originally belonged to the old lady, and the son had nothing to say, so it was better to give them all to the second room. ”
Old Mrs. Jia was choked by Jia Yu, and her face suddenly looked very bad, Daiyu hurriedly glanced at Jia Lian, and then looked at Old Mrs. Jia and smiled: "Uncle has been an official for a long time, and he won't say soft words." It's just that I think that the second uncle's family doesn't have any permanent property, and I want to give more to the second uncle, but it's easy to misunderstand when I say it. ”
Mrs. Jia naturally knew that Jia Yu didn't mean this, but she didn't want to refute Daiyu's face, so she didn't say much, and handed over the land deeds of the two Zhuangzi to Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian respectively. Then he pointed to the chests of gold and said, "These are also divided today." ”
As soon as Mrs. Jia finished speaking, Jia Yu's face changed, you must know that for ordinary people, gold is just used to buy grain and rice, and for people like them, it is the foundation, and it is something to be kept.
Mrs. Jia didn't pay attention to it, and said directly: "Five thousand five hundred taels of gold, among the grandchildren, only the girl and Baoyu are cherished, Brother Huan'er and Brother Yun are not married, the girl and Baoyu each get three hundred taels, and Brother Huan'er and Brother Cong Yun are one hundred taels each." My Yu'er is the county lord, so I will give her an extra two hundred taels and give her five hundred taels. ”
When Mrs. Jia said this, she turned back to Daiyu and smiled kindly, but Daiyu felt as if she had poured nine cold winds into her collar, and hurriedly got up and said, "Grandmother, don't be like this, how can Yu'er He De come to share her grandmother's private room?" ”
Mrs. Jia didn't pay attention to it, and after laughing, she continued: "Several great-grandchildren, each get a hundred taels." Turn around, the old man sent someone to send it to the girl. ”
Jia Yu glanced at Mrs. Jia coldly, bowed down and said, "What the old lady says, what does my son do." As if she hadn't seen Jia Yu's gaze, Mrs. Jia nodded with a smile and said, "Don't say that I love my grandson or my son, the eldest master and the second master are also 1,000 taels each." Brother Zhen went, and sent five hundred taels to Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law. ”
When Daiyu heard this, she understood that Mrs. Jia was ruthless in arranging the aftermath at this time, although Mrs. Jia's body was indeed worse day by day, but Daiyu didn't expect that Mrs. Jia would arrange the aftermath during the New Year, and couldn't help sighing.
Perhaps it was Daiyu's sigh that attracted the attention of Jia Yu and the others, and suddenly everyone in the room woke up and their eyes were red. Old Mrs. Jia turned her head and stroked Daiyu's cheek and said, "Grandmother won't delay our Yu'er." In one sentence, it made Daiyu suddenly feel the urge to cry, leaned her head on Mrs. Jia's shoulder, and stopped speaking.
Mrs. Jia took the silk herself, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "For the rest, take care of the aftermath for me." The lord is busy, and I don't trust you. After speaking, Mrs. Jia looked at Jia Lian and said: "I will hand over the rest to you to keep, when I go, you take it out, and the rest will be distributed to you, if it is not enough, you will make up for the old woman." ”
Except for Daiyu, no one expected that Mrs. Jia would say this so bluntly in the New Year, and suddenly a room full of people cried. Mrs. Jia sighed and said, "That's good, it's clear, don't worry about anyone." ”
After speaking, he ignored the people in this room, looked at the mandarin duck and said, "The ones I wear are all left to you except for those who will accompany me in the future." The furniture will be left to the eldest master, and he will provide for me. ”
When Jia Yu heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "What did the old lady say?" My son should have given you a pension! ”
Mrs. Jia waved her hand and said: "I know that you are filial, I have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, you don't have to say more, only your nephews and nieces have not yet married, if you have the heart, you will help more in the future, your brother is still suffering in the Northeast......"
When Mrs. Jia said this, she sighed and said with red eyes: "The brother of a mother's compatriots, I am at fault for a thousand mistakes, you can help, just help these, break the bones and still have tendons." ”
When Jia Yu heard Mrs. Jia say this, she became cold again, nodded, and distributed the five thousand five hundred taels of gold to everyone according to Mrs. Jia's previous explanation. (To be continued.) )
